GOP fast tracks bill to fortify ObamaCare's high-risk pools
The Hill ^ | 04/16/13 10:14 AM ET | Elise Viebeck

House Republicans are moving quickly on a new bill to strengthen ObamaCare's temporary insurance plan for people with pre-existing conditions....

The Obama administration announced earlier this year that it would suspend enrollment in the PCIP, citing cost concerns.

GOP lawmakers have since mounted a push to transfer money from the law's public and preventive health fund — disparaged as a "slush" fund by Republicans — to reopen the PCIP's enrollment.

The GOP, Obama's best friend. Saving his bacon once again.

What purpose does the GOP serve? They are facilitators and soft-sellers of the Democrat agenda.

“What purpose does the GOP serve? They are facilitators and soft-sellers of the Democrat agenda.”

The GOP has quickly and efficiently morphed into the right wing of the communist party.

otherwise bammie would be posing for the cameras surrounded by victims crying, demanding even more money, and blaming the heartless GOP for not covering preexisting conditions

This is much the same as the state expansion of Medicare fight. Hospitals want the fedgov cash. Their lobbyists are pushing ($$$$) the beltway GOP to modify Obamacare and get it.

For all intents and purposes full repeal of Medicare is off the table. We have been lied to again by the beltway GOP.

What in the world are Repub’s thinking—let O-care follow its own trajectory and keep away from it. Americans will experience its effects and judge accordingly.

The point is the beltway GOP are looking to modify Obamacare. I have seen a few stories in the “conservative” press lately about how Obamacare really isn’t so bad because it can be modified.

We have been sold out. All the talk of repeal is just lip service by the beltway GOP. They have no intention of doing it when there is money to be made modifying it. Those are the facts, sorry.

They are the “loyal opposition” content in their second-tier power. They are the equivalent of the Vichy French and the Prisoner Bosses in the Nazi Death Camps.

You have to keep the rabble of this country under control. What better way than to do it than with a group of so-called compatriots. A tried-and-true option for the oppressor.
